About The DAS Full Motorbike Licence £1100
The Direct AccessScheme (DAS) is for those people who would like to get a full unrestricted motorbike licence. DAS is only available for people aged 24 and over, unless you have already held an A2 motorcycle licence for at least 2 years and are following the progressive access route, which allows people who have held their existing A2 bike licence for 2 years to upgrade their licence to a full unrestricted licence by simply re-taking their practical test on a larger unrestricted motorcycle. Upon passing your DAS test, you will be entitled to ride any powered motorbike or scooter of your choice, carry pillion passenger's and use motorways.

The DAS test needs to be sat on a motorcycle / scooter which is at least 595cc, and has a power output greater than 40kw (53.6bhp).
As with all the other motorcycle tests, if you decide to pass your direct access test on a manual bike you will be able to ride any motorcycle or scooter/moped, whether it is manual or automatic. However, if you take your direct access course on an automatic bike, your licence will be limited to automatics motorbikes only.

Direct Access Training Course's
Our Direct Access motorcycle courses are based in London and are tailored to each individual. For the majority of people, it would be their first time on such a big motorbike, yet at the same time, we also recognise that some people may have been riding big motorbikes for years (e.g maybe in a foreign country, or off road).
For this reason, we assess each pupil's needs on an individual basis. We do not dictate that every person who wants to do Direct Access will need a 4 or 5 day DAS course as we know other training schools do. In fact, we do quite the opposite. We advise you on what our various DAS Courses involve, and then let you decide which course is best suited to your experience level. We ask you some critical key questions to get an understanding of your experience, which helps us give you an opinion on which course is best suited to you, however the final choice is up to you. Please bear in mind though, that if you claim to have more experience than you actually do, and opt to do a shorter course to save time and money, there is every chance you will not be in a position to pass your test first time, and may well end up spending more time and money on resits. For those pupils who are still unsure which course is best for them, we urge those pupils to come into our offices and speak to an instructor face-to-face, and even try sitting on, and riding the bikes to help both you and us make a correct and viable decision.
Our Direct Access (DAS) Motorcycle training courses in London are typically run over 3 days. This allows us suffiecient time to train you to pass both the Module 1 & Module 2 practical tests. A typical 3 day course would envolve the following:
Our 3 Day DAS Course (Most recommended):
This consists of Module 2 training in the morning. The purpose of this session is to allow your instructor to help make sure that your riding proceedures (mirror/shoulder checks, positioning, roundabout proceedures etc) are correct and are at a standard high enough for you to ensure you pass your Module 2 motorcycle test first time. This Module 2 training also provides you with a chance to familiarise yourself with the bike you will be using. The afternoon session consists of Module 1 Training. We take you to our extensive Module 1 training site which is large enough for us to be able to replicate all of the Module 1 excercises. Your instructor will then talk you through each excericse, and give you tips on how to make each exercise much easier. Our Module 1 training site is exclusive for our Pupils, and is a key contributing factor to our 95% first time pass rate.
You will have a recap on your Module 1 exercises before heading up to the DVSA test centre. We aim to get you to the test centre about half an hour before your test so that we can hopefully watch and talk you through a 'live' module 1 test being conducted. After you have completed your Module 1 test, we continue with more Module 2 training taking your around the most popular test route roads, and highlighting common places where people often make errors so that you hopefully don't! You will hear on many of previous pupils commenting in our video testimonials about how the routes we teach are quite often the exact same roads that they were taken on for their Module 2 test.
Involves us recapping both the safety/pillion passenger questions and some of the most popular test routes again before you taking your Module 2 test.
We can offer Module 1 & Module 2 tests on the same, but do not recommend this as although it is more convenient for training schools to take this approach, it is not the best option for the pupil, as you are the ultimately the one taking the risk, and placing additional pressure on yourself to pass your Module 1 test.
Inexperienced Riders
For those people who are inexperienced, or have little or no experience riding manual bikes or big bikes, we strongly recommend doing a 1-2-1 session with one of our instructors. This 2 hours session is aimed soley at getting you up to a standard good enough to attend our standard 3 Day Course. For some people, this session will include teaching them how to ride a manual bike, and then converting those skills onto a larger bike, whilst for others it may be purely a confidence boosting session to enable them to get used to riding a larger bike without the pressure of another student being present. Whatever your standard of riding, our instructors objective is to have you ready for a 3 day DAS course at the end of your 1-2-1 session. As the 1-2-1 session is just you and your instructor, the instructors sole attention is on you, which allows us to focus on your area's of weakness, and make your learning experience much faster and enjoyable.
How beneficial are your 2 hour 1-2-1 Sessions?
We beleive our 1-2-1 sessions are the key to our high pass rate. Because learning is taking place on a 1-2-1 basis, your learning curve is much quicker, as the instructor can focus on key area's that you are struggling with instead of diverting his attention amongst a group of students. This undivided attention is absolutely essential when teaching someone a new skill.
We are the only school that we are aware of in London that offers a 2 hour geared conversion, whilst in the same session, migrating the skills learnt onto a DAS bike.
Again, don't just take our word for it, just listen to our pupils >video testimonials, and here for yourself the results our 1-2-1 sessions have created.
Why are most of your Direct Access courses 3 Days?
Many schools will offer you a 5 or 6 day Direct access course, and while on the face of it this may seem like an ideal option, the underlying fact is that for half of those days you will probably be training on a 125cc bike, and more likely than not, in a group environment of 2-4 other students. It is this group envornment situation which keeps you on the 125cc for typically 2/3 unecessary days, as the instructors attention is focused on a group rather than you as an individual, meaning that you cannot progress onto a DAS bike until everyone in the group has reached a certain standard.
As your DAS test is sat on a big bike, we do not see any mileage in keeping you on a 125cc bike for any longer than necessary, as that is not the bike you will be taking your Direct Access test on. We like to get you onto a 600cc bike as quickly and safely as possible (hence our 2 hour conversion course). You will quickly see that riding a 600cc bike is in many ways a lot easier than riding a 125cc, and once you get onto the DAS bike, you will not want to go back to the 125cc.
Another disadvantage of long DAS courses is that they tend to be more expensive, and by virtue of the nature of the course, requires you to take more time off work, which is not only impractical, but again, also costly.
Therefore, we have comprised a way of teaching you in 2 hours what other schools "sell you" into believing takes 2/3 days, and at the end your session, you would not only have saved time and money, but will also be in a situation where you are ready to go straight onto a 3 Day Direct access training course.
However, we undersatnd that even though a large majority of our direct access course's are run over 3 days, that some people may still want to benefit from our superb instruction on a 4 or 5 day DAS course, and for that reason, we also run these more convential courses, even though these course's are still built around our 3 day DAS courses.
Our Pass Rate Speaks for itself!
Our DAS training courses in London are all based around a 3 day course, with a set syllabus that has a proven track record of a 95% first time pass rate. This is also evidenced by our Facebook page, and our YouTube, where we publish all our passed pupils video testimonials, so you can see and hear 100% genuine testimonials from hundreds upon hundreds of satisfied pupils.
To attend our 3 day Direct Access course, you will need to have a current CBT, have passed your motorcycle theory test, and be able to ride a manual motorcycle to a competent standard. For more details about our DAS training courses, please email us, and we will happily send you out a detailed breakdown of what you can expect to receive as part of your training.
